DUBLIN, February 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Travel Service, the biggest Czech air carrier, launched a completely unique inflight entertainment service on its flights, providing a superior level of comfort for passengers. The service is initially being rolled out on scheduled flights under the SmartWings brand.

In October 2017 Travel Service agreed to increase its stake in the national flag carrier CSA Czech Airlines, from 44% to almost 98%.

The fast growing group has ambitions to operate a fleet of 70-80 aircraft.

Travel Service will be pioneering Everhub wireless IFE system among the airlines.
